I’m just going to try and summarize something as best as I can and see how accurate it sounds:

When Steven learned that he unknowingly played a part in the events that took place during Season 4’s end, he was just so eager to make it all stop and set things right before people got hurt because of it that he did what he thought was his last best chance to do just that. And then, when he was finally able to come back home and had another chance to live his life like before, he just wanted to put the whole ordeal behind him and go back to the happiness and joy that he knew before. However, what Connie was upset about was how he didn’t seem to take her feelings into consideration in the end, not even by honesty explaining to why he was so willing to do such a thing. All Steven really wanted to keep his friends and family safe and all Connie really wanted was some confirmation of whether they were still team together or not. All they really needed was a moment to really talk about the situation and understand what the other was thinking

I gleefully await an episode that's just Ronaldo being beaten severely.

I think the time apart served them better than more talking would. Steven learned what he put Connie through by experiencing the same thing himself.

[up]Given his text at the end of "Gemcation", he probably got cut on broken glass at some point.

Ronaldo is fine as a background character who reacts comically to main plot happenings.

He's annoying whenever the episode is focused on him.

And I've watched the episodes now.

So...wow, these were fucking great. They did not let up on the emotional tenseness of all of this and it honestly kinda fucking hurt (but in a good way). I'm just kinda...damn, this is some good shit. Powerful shit.

And now the hiatus begins again...

Wonder if the Big Donut is going to just close without Sadie.

Maybe Dewey's last act as mayor will be to find a replacement. I dunno, Buck and/or Sour Cream?

I think Dewey is gonna work at the Big Donut, too. Seems to be a common thought.

[up]Considering Dewey seems to have spent his life coasting off his family name, that might be a good idea.

[up][up]Big Donut is a chain, but individual stores could have localized names. It works for Panera.

I think the only thing that disappoints me about this set of episodes is that of course now people are using this as an excuse to rag on Lapis even though this felt like the best use of her since maybe Room for Ruby.

Eh, she's a selfish and manipulative person who's really kinda shitty.

It's why she's such a great character.

You know what really surprised about this update? That I genuinely enjoyed Kevin. Like, it was fun to have him on screen, which was never the case before. Until now, he was just an annoying douchebag, but this time he was a fun annoying douchebag. It was genuinely funny to see him desperate and acting ridiculous. I mean, seeing Steven actually listening to him was a bit less amusing to me but, still, Kevin's antics was the best I've seem of him so far.

[up]Really? That is sad.

The complaints I'm getting about Lapis is that she "doesn't develop", that she barely interacts with anyone outside of Steven and Peridot (not entirely untrue), or that she's been holding Peridot's development back somehow.

Honestly I'm expecting her to show up later and when she does the fandom is just gonna celebrate her getting development like this never happened. Lapis is probably the single most divisive character on the show.

[up][up] Same! I was really shocked that I actually enjoyed seeing Kevin! He had some very hilarious lines. I'm still laughing about "I want those old people to whisper my name when they die." [lol]

When it comes right down to it, my main problem that i simply can't get over is how i feel about Connie and Steven's fallout. It was something like this that i feared when i first saw that scene with Connie in the SDCC trailer, the same can be said about Lapis' scenes and what happened with her.

I can understand why Connie is upset, but, it still bothers me that Steven was the one in the wrong for doing something that was done out of a desire to keep those he cares about safe. There's really no middle ground to it, Steven was the one who had to apologize, period.

When I found out Kevin was going to appear again, I figured they needed to change up his role this time, which they did. Kevin's essentially as bad a person as ever, but not acting as an antagonist really alters the dynamic. His unrestrained narcissism brings a comic potential the show doesn't usually have, which the writers grabbed onto pretty well.
